Does Whistles run small?

Sizing varies depending on the style of the outfit. But most customers would say that Whistles clothing is true to size. However, some say the sizing can depend on the item. For example, one reviewer says the dresses fit a bit off for them, but another reviewer says the sizing is fairly generous. Another reviewer says the sizing is true-to-small, but the tops can be a bit tight over the shoulders and chest. 

In my personal experience, Whistles generally runs pretty true to size. I tried on a few pieces recently and ended up going home with a knitted dress, pair of jeans and some great chunky boots. I got each piece in my regular size, and while the jeans are a little loose on the waist, I’m happy with the fit.
